COVID-19
The UK has now moved into its Living with Covid plan.
This means that face coverings are no longer required in public, indoor spaces and you will not be required to show your vaccine status.
However, some establishments and public transport providers may still require you to wear a face covering and other visitors may feel more comfortable continuing to wear one. We want you to have a safe and enjoyable time in North Devon, so please be kind and respectful to everyone.
Please visit gov.uk/coronavirus for all the latest information.
#KnowBeforeYouGo
The #KnowBeforeYouGo campaign was launched to help give you peace of mind when travelling, so make sure to check the below and ensure that you know, before you go! Once lockdown restrictions have been lifted, make sure to check these things before travelling.
- When planning your trip, make sure to check the latest information online to see what restrictions may be in place, particularly if you are visiting an attraction or eatery as many of these have limited capacity and will require advanced booking.
- Check to see which restaurants and bars etc are open and what they have in place, ie, whether you can eat in, take away or whether you need to book.
- Make sure to maintain a two meter distance when you are exploring and enjoying North Devon.
- Wear a face covering at all times on public transport and in enclosed spaces unless you are medically exempt.
- Make sure you have a bank card on you as many places are only accepting contactless or card payments at the moment.
- Make sure to keep washing your hands, there will be extra chances to wash your hands in shops and attractions, but it is always a good idea to keep a travel sized bottle of hand sanitiser on your person, just in case!
Where to find key information
The latest information regarding Coronavirus and travelling can be found on the official government website. Make sure to check your plans before you travel as open hours may vary and local lockdowns may prevent you from travelling. Please check directly with the attractions etc that you are planning to visit for the most up to date information.
If you are already in the UK and start to feel unwell with symptoms, do not visit attractions, restaurants or other areas, please self-isolate and contact the online coronavirus service to get further information.
Both VisitEngland and the AA have launched new industry standard marks as a way of giving visitors peace of mind that every effort has been put into making businesses safe. Look out for the Good to Go marks when booking for peace of mind.
